A Celebration of Excellence

APMP Recognizes 2021 Award Winners

Every day, APMP members are working to propel the bid and proposal industry forward and, even in the midst of the unprecedented events that have taken place over the past 18 months, have been able to achieve results that should be recognized.

APMP’s Week of Winners, sponsored by Shipley Associates and Opportuni, is the online celebration and announcement of members who have received various honors, including individual and chapter awards, Charlie Divine APMP Certification Scholarships and 40 Under 40. All award winners, including APMP Fellows, will also be recognized at this year’s Bid & Proposal Con in Denver, Oct 10-13.

“Every year, I look forward to learning about how our members are making strides in our profession — creating, innovating and leading — through our awards program,” says APMP Chair Krystn Macomber, APMP Fellow. “It’s such an honor to be able to present these winners to the membership this year as chair, and I hope all members are inspired by the work of their APMP colleagues.”
